Character mistake: The telegram from Mount Wilson Observatory mentions "extraordinary electric waves." The Italian dub also makes up that it was sent from "Dr. Johnson," when it is in fact signed "William Johnes."

Continuity mistake: In the wrap-up shot of the scene in front of the bus, Paige and the girls are talking about her fake tan and dye. Madison screws on the lid with the hand that was holding the bottle in the previous shot. (00:56:35)

Continuity mistake: Fast forward to the present day, and Saraya and Zak are double-pinfalling their parents in a match. As the referee counts to three, Saraya is holding her mother's arm in the pinfall at first, but she is not holding it in the overhead shot. (00:04:25)

Continuity mistake: Scene inside the shrink's office at the beginning of the movie; Bert's daughter reacts as he mentions "the c word." Her mum is at the rightmost seat, with both hands on the pillow. In the next shot, her hands are in completely different positions. A similar mistake occurs later when the mother asks her daughters to leave. (00:04:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Egon Schiele is escorted to Klimt's hospital room. On the deathbed, a large glass creeps a few inches closer to the immobilized artist as soon as the camera angle changes. (00:04:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The Broadmore crowd in Miami must be used to seeing absolutely everything because people barely pay attention to someone falling out of a window and turning into a bloody pulp in the street and absolutely zero attention to two people crashing through a window into a balcony a couple of stories below to get into a kung-fu showdown. They even stay comfortably seated at the tables outside the same building. (00:51:45)

Continuity mistake: After the scene featuring pictures of Martin Lawrence with a big afro, Julia asks him how Marcus's wife is. She adds in a close-up that she must be pretty amazing. Look at her hand, palm against her cheek. That's not the pose she has in the next, wider shot. That's the pose she will get to a few seconds later when she says, "Watching him tonight," etc. (01:18:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Inside the suite, Julie takes a sip from Max's glass. Behind her, Eddie Dominguez giggles, "Watch your step." He rubs his already powdered nose, then touches the glass. Cuts to a wider angle, and Eddie is repeating the exact same movements - but Julie isn't. (00:25:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The Bad Boys enter the precinct, made into a crime scene, through an overhead shot. To their left as they come in, a cop in a suit with fair, curly hair makes a turn around a desk corner. It cuts to Will Smith saying, "Hey bay-beh!" tapping Francine's desk. A different cop is behind them, then it cuts to a wider shot with Martin Lawrence in a more subdued greeting, and the same cop from the first shot does the same turn as before. (00:12:10)

Sammo ★

Deliberate mistake: It's very likely deliberate, but at the end of the movie, Lorne and Rosie are asked by the production which last name Rosie should be credited as, "Michaels" or "Shuster." They pick Shuster. In the actual show, she is credited as Rosie Michaels. (01:37:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Waldemar Daninsky and Justine are in front of Imre's tomb. She wipes her tears in the wide shot, but in the closer angle, her hands are low, and only then does she bring her right hand to her eyes to wipe those tears.

Sammo ★

Factual error: As Father Laforgue walks in town at the beginning of the movie (with a better, closer look a minute later before the scene changes), you can see that despite the "Quebec. North America 1634" caption, they have on a pole the contemporary flag of Quebec, designed only in the 20th century. (00:01:55 - 00:02:30)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: We see in a flashback (so, early 1600s) the protagonist with his mother in Ruen, back in motherland France. She tells him she is praying to St. Joan (d'Arc; they are in front of a statue of hers). Joan d'Arc wasn't canonized until the 20th century. You could argue that in the eyes of the laymen she was already considered a saint. However, her son does not object and considers her a saint as well, doubling down on the statement even later on in Quebec when he does not have to humour his mother, and he is a Jesuit. He obviously should know better. (00:35:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the airport, Paige hugs her parents for the first time. There's a guy with white hair who walks past them. He is absent in the reverse shot, though. About 20 seconds pass as they talk some more; they hug a second time... and there he is this time: White Haired Guy is in the reverse shot, barely past them. (00:35:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When the crew notices the landing gear alarm set off by Conan, their screen is filled with gibberish ("asd", "asdi dasdasid", "dada", "/d" and the like). (00:54:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Sergio Castellitto summons Ralph Fiennes to his table to discuss the surprise cardinal that has just sprung up at the conclave. When he asks him to look around, he says, "Look at the cardinal two seats away from him eating his tortellini; his spoon is raised or lowered without continuity." (00:24:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Blanc gives Helen the piece of Klear that she uses to cause the large explosion. You don't see her actually getting it the first time, but you do see she is keeping something in her closed fist, which she keeps balled when she is breaking the glass sculptures. That's for the first part of the scene, at least. As it gets more frantic, she uses objects as clubs and eventually throws with an open hand pillows into the fire. She had no way to keep the explosive in her hand this way, and she gets it back only through the powers of flashback. She could have at most pocketed it (something the movie never shows), but look at the way she disposes of her jacket; there's no room for her to even do that. (02:01:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the clothing rental store, Maigret puts the box with the victim's bloodied dress on the counter. He leans against the counter with closed fists, but in the next shot, we see Gérard Depardieu leaning with his open hands flat instead. (00:17:00)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: Al (Joe Mantegna) gets knocked down by a mighty punch from his wife Carla (Linda Fiorentino), who, after lying some more, grabs the two daughters to go to her mum's. One of the daughters flashes a smile and supposedly says, "Hi Daddy!", but the line is dubbed in. (00:15:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the police show up at Michael Kosco's place, Deputy K. Reddy wanders off to check the window. There's a brief cut to a wider angle, then Jon Hamm is hunched over again like in the first shot, even though he has already changed position. (01:21:40)
